i have a dog

Well, I do for a week and a half at least. My parents took their first vacation together since married with kids. It's fun....but kind of a bit of work. And my house seems extra small with her around. I need a fenced in yard is the thought.

Ever had a few weeks where you feel out of sorts? That's me this week. I was watching Oprah's Big Give on ABC tonight, and I kept crying at the different ways people gave. Each contestent (not sure what they win) was given $100,000 and had 24 hours to give it away. They could give no more than $500 to an individual person, could only spend $10,000 per place, and could not give away cash. There were some really great ways they did it - but out of 8 (i think?) contestents, only one guy gave all $100,000 away. So yeah, tears. It was cool though.

And speaking of ABC, I think they're my new favorite network (besides bravo). After the big give, they have this show called The Newlyweds where these couples learn about each other and how to strenghten their relationship. It's actually a very positive show and puts a positive focus on marriage instead of most reality shows that bring in other people to see if a marriage is strong enough to withstand the temptation. So, yay ABC. I'm impressed.

you could WIN!

Ever heard of TravelZoo? They have really great prices on vacations...and each wednesday they post their top 20 deals of the week. Well, if you enter this sweepstakes, you could win all 20!

DEWIT!

so many things

Notice: I'm looking to buy a dress form. If you know where I can get one for a reasonable price, that would be fantastic. I'm making a dress, and it the form of Rami, it has some draping....so I'd like to use the dress form. yay :o)

Also, I've realized why it bugs me SO much when I share information with people and they disregard it. It's because of my Input Strength. I collect information, I archive it, and then I use/share it at a later date. And I know what I'm talking about the majority of the time. So question me if you like, just don't pretend as though there aren't words coming out of my mouth. I might be governor someday.

In other news, I'm tired of being sick. This stupid cold can go away.

And finally, do I know someone who interned with the Twins or Wild? There's a girl I know who's looking for an "in"...send me your info!

happy friday - and happy st. patty's day. yay green! :o)
